A breakthrough in cost effective and convenient xylanase enzyme analysis

摘要

With around 85% of all manufactured monogastric feed thought to contain at least one commer-cial enzyme product, the success of feed formulations is increasingly dependent on those enzymes delivering performance benefits. For the feed manufacturer, being able to test the resulting feeds to a sufficiently high standard to ensure correct enzyme dosage and activity is therefore an important part of quality control and assurance procedures.If dietary energy levels are to be reduced following addition of a xylanase, for example, it is vital that the actual amount of enzyme present and active in the feed is as expected. Since any failure to achieve this will likely result in significant reductions in animal performance, and subsequent financial loss, there is a need for regular and accurate analysis of manufactured feed to confirm enzyme presence and levels.
